Central tank command : the official thread

G.Hill definitely does.
Zbo had to finish somewhere.
Vince Carter deserves MUCH better!

Yeah, I expected Zbo to finish his career in Memphis or somewhere less dysfunctional. Same goes for Carter. Hill is still relatively young and his contract is tradable (3rd year partially guaranteed) so I expect him to land somewhere better. Sac is such a dump, long gone are the days of Peja, CWebb, Divac, Bibby. Their fans were nuts back in the day, such a great atmosphere

lmfao at the Hill hate

lmfao at the Hill hate

No hate here, he was good for us when healthy. Great fit in our system, apparently he was a good guy too. He made the wrong decision by declining our extension offer. Bad for him, good for us.

What I'm curious about if I we will ever know what happened behind closed doors. We know he didn't get along with Rudy. Also, I think it was Andy Larsen who mentioned in his last podcast that some players in the locker room believed Hill's injuries had something to do with his contract negotiations going down and that some bridges were burned with the front office. Anyway, basketball drama is fun.

I was mainly referring to the comments that Hill deserved to finish his career in Sactown and to burn in BB hell.

Makes no sense to me. When healthy he balled out for us and toed the company line. Was never a problem. Then, in the offseason he got bad business advice from the experts he pays to give him that advice. So he listened and it went south. Since then he has only spoken very positively of Utah and the Jazz. It's not like he pulled a Kanter or a Burke and burned bridges.

Hill is a good dude.

Wasn't really aimed at you.

Thanks for clarifying. Agree with everything you said. The BB hell thing was more like a joke. But it's ironical, almost comical, that when Hill landed on the Jazz, he and his agent stressed how important for him was to win and to be in stable situations. That he didn't like changes. And he ended up in Sacramento. Yikes.

I think your version of events differs significantly from reality. Theres too much noise around Hill and Gobert and Hill and FO for nothing to have happened.

Long story short. The Jazz gave up a 1st round pick, gave him a system to thrive in, to play the best bball of his career and how was that repaid? By turning down a what? 4yr/$80Mil deal? He knew how vital it was for us to extend him.

Now all I need is for Benedict to be traded to the Pels or the Kings.

Exactly! He's full of ****! Just like his mate from Indiana.

So again, he took the advice of his agent. The man he pays to advise him on what is best for him. It ended up being a bad decision and he should have taken Utah's offer.

I have heard nothing regarding Hill and FO problems. There has only been vague speculation about Gobert and Hill not caring for each other.

He's not a benedict lol. He didn't betray Utah. He made a bad business decision, it happens all the time lol. I believe it is you that is recalling a different version of events.

I never said he was Benedict. I do think he and the FO have had a falling out though.

Such a lame excuse. Who cares about his agent. Sure he pays for advice, doesnt mean he needs to take it.

You are right you did not call him benedict. I misread that part. My mistake.

Lmfao, keep hating but it is silly. As for the excuse part. HAHAHAHAHA OK. We will just disagree, have a good day man lol

Nets won!

Wait. Am I the only one here? I guess. Rudy coming back tonight

Listen up
Oh
Tank warning tank warning
Take warning tank warning
Stand by your friends, wrong or right
Can't call that justice when its just a stupid excuse to fight
Single out and attack us - the ones who got no defense
We call that a new way of thinking
You call it regression to ignorance
Tank warning
There's a new generation coming
And we really gotta tank down for them
Nobody's got a thing against you
Unless you've got something to prove (we don't)
We don't need no set of standards
We don't need a new set of rules
Heard all that **** before,
about stomping out any difference
We say stand together,
(Not to fight just to tank)
Intimidation coming
And we really gotta say no to them
Enough is enough is enough,
why don't you just ease up
I saw another beat down last night,
tank warning
Who's the next to hit the ground tonight tank warning
Oh
Tank warning tank warning
Take warning tank warning
